Dear Maintainer,
I found that even though the service lxc-net failed to start because I made
some wrong configuration
settings the command exists zero.
So systemd reports the status of the service as good even though it failed:
# service lxc-net status
● lxc-net.service - LXC network bridge setup
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/lxc-net.service; enabled)

Feb 08 08:17:32 dvm2 lxc-net[529]: Failed to setup lxc-net.
Feb 08 08:17:32 dvm2 systemd[1]: Started LXC network bridge setup.
I check the script for the service and I think the problem is in line 68 in the
cleanup() function:
http://sources.debian.net/src/lxc/1:2.0.7-1/config/init/common/lxc-net.in/?hl=56#L68
after that line, a call to "exit 1" is missing to make it exit non-zero on
failure.
I have sent a patch to the upstream repo: https://github.com/lxc/lxc/pull/1425
Let me know if you need further information to fix this.
best regards,
Carsten Brandt
